Golden Days Shack in Juc-Family & Pet-Friendly,5-Min Walk to Beach, Near Torquay

Cool vibes meet coastal charm at Retro Shack, just a 5-minute walk to Jan Juc Beach. This pet- and family-friendly retreat is a dream destination for surfers and beach lovers alike. With its laid-back retro vibe and comfortable amenities, it’s the perfect base to soak up the iconic surf culture of the Great Ocean Road.

Located just minutes from the world-famous Bells Beach, Retro Shack offers easy access to one of Australia’s most celebrated surf breaks, known for its legendary waves and stunning cliffside views. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer chasing the perfect swell or a beginner looking to experience the thrill of the ocean, this is the ultimate surf-side getaway.

For those who prefer land-based adventures, the nearby Surf Coast Walk and the Jan Juc to Bells Beach trail provide breathtaking coastal views and opportunities to explore the region’s natural beauty. After a day of surf or exploration, refuel at the nearby Bird Rock Café, a local favorite for its delicious meals and relaxed vibe.
